Yesterday's Viral Photo/Video Was A Man Killed And Not A 7year Old Boy

THE Assistant Commissioner of Police, Abayomi Shogunle, the officer in charge of the Complaints Response Unit (CRU), at the Force headquarters, Abuja, took to his Twitter handle yesterday amidst the viral news of a 7 year old boy being burnt alive to clarify that the person that was killed was a man and not a boy.

Still doesn't change the fact that Jungle Justice is wrong.That photo gave me nightmare....How do people have the guts to set a human being on fire and then watch the body roast?OMGoodness!

I feel sick from this and I pray that the people who did that are caught and jailed.......*Little voice whispers* ''In Nigeria? Stella,please get real!''

Yup! Not a 7year old and not garri, but they said he stabbed the person to death from whom he stole from, does the saying "An eye for an eye" kinda ring a bell? What about the lost soul? Oh well! What do I kno?

Stella!...I'm sure these robbers have not dealt with you!...Imagine stealing someone's phone and at the same time trying to kill the person...is it not wickedness?...I have been robbed severally in traffic and in my business premises so I have zero tolerance for these idiots when they are being caught and lynched...After working so hard to make money,one bastard will come and eat!..Can you imagine that?...Okay,call the police to arrest him and he will be freed the next day after giving bribe to the police...

This serves the idiot right!...Infact,if I were there,I won't mind losing my tyre and donating fuel on top!...

Exactly, saw a few seconds of the video and jejely ended it there. I can't come and be having nightmares especially when I am yet to recover from Aluu 4. However, if a person is guilty of a crime such as cold blooded murder, proven rape, sodomy; I say lynch those bitches!

If he stole with intent to harm his victim, then jungle justice was his karma.

Stella, stop being sentimental. These thieves have no sympathy. I've been robbed at gun point before, I know what it feels like. Not to talk of someone who robs a person and stabs that person, not caring if they die or live. Abegi, he deserved what he got.

Kinda relieved it wasn't a 7 year old. But even at that,whether he was 17 or 70 years doesn't stil make jungle justice right.

That video spoilt my evening. My sis-in-law's as well. How some people can stand and watch a fellow man Bn burnt to death is beyond me. There is this viral video of a woman striped naked and Bn paraded. After like 4 mins of beatings and all,she had a bloodied face and the men opened up her privates,like opened it wide and were snapping away. She was pleading and explaining. It was heart-wrenching to watch.Then someone from the mob shouted "Set her on Fire" Then another voice followed the first voice. By that time,I was distraught cos when the tyre appears,there's little chance of the person making it out alive.

Then from nowhere a tyre appeared and Then they put a tyre around her neck,she was stil pleading and removed the tyre.She did this Kirk three times and they kept putting it back amidst heavy beatings. You could see she was getting weaker and weaker....they put the tyre back on...

Then,from nowhere a man appeared and said wait,let's even hear what she has to say. And another voice said "it's true,remove the tyre let's hear her" The tyre was removed and the video ended as she was explaining. Dunno how it ended but I was glad the tyre was removed and hopefully she wouldn't be burnt but taken to the station.

Point I am trying to make is this: It takes just one voice to change things. To save a human life. Just one. God knows I can't stand and watch where a fellow human is Bn burnt alive. I just can't! If u too can't stand it,then be that Voice.

Does the fact that it was a man and not a boy make it better? God help us.Jungle justice is indeed a terrible thing.A man stole garri to drink so that he can stay alive and people gathered to kill him? What happened to reporting him to the appopriate authorities for punishment? Where is the love? Is burning a man to death the most appopriate? God!!! Which way Nigeria? My eyes are clouded with tears as i type this. I really dont blame the Nigerians in the diaspora who dont want to ever come home.If the system was working here i dont think anyone (boy/man) would concieve in his heart to steal a handful of garri without sugar just alive, it is well.

I am against jungle justice , but that bustop is notorious for phone snatching, the issue is not about taking phones, first they stab the individual in the neck or heart, then dispossess him of his phone and money, 5 people have lost their lives there this year, RSS has done nothing, police behaves like that area is beyond their jurisdiction. One man was thrown from the bridge because he refused to let go of his phone, one newly married dude was recently killed there because of his phone, his whole family came there and cried for hours non stop, very heart breaking to watch, this guy burnt, stabbed someone and was caught, why did the police not show up? they knew the people had been taken for granted for too long.

I just saw the video. Those people are hypocrites. Irrespective of what he stole, they don't have any right to murder him. Jesus forgave a thief on the cross. Any body , b repentant at any hour. What have they done to politicians who still billions? And are still stealing? I weep for my country. Obviously #blacklivesdontmatter.

The media......they won't report how people have died there from robbery. Jungle justice isnt the way forward. Nigeria is a banana republic. Carry the man to police. Police wld collect bribe and release him to continue his biz in another part of Lagos. What is the way forward with dealing with armed robbers in Nigeria? Jungle justice no,but I think d angry mobs shld do it old school bible ways of cutting the hands he used to steal,we have no right to take a life we can't give no matter d situation. So you can amputate a notorious criminal as punishment.

All of you complaining about jungle justice should wait until a thief rapes somebody in your family and is then apprehended or a thief kills somebody close to you while committing a robbery and is the then caught. Hopefully, you will have the mind to hand him over to the Police for justice.

I am always shocked when I see jungle justice and think the people doing it are animals but the thieves that stab people to rob them of phones etc in broad day light are also not human so I guess they do deserve whatever is coming to them once caught.

Common now Linda grow a heart, are you seriously comparing a human life to material things?How about the system provides basic needs for all it's citizens and then encourage lynching for those who still go ahead to steal? You can't in all fairness impose a death sentence on people who have been deprived of the possibility of making a decent livelihood by a mean and wicked system.My dear, our stories and circumstances are different so, we shouldn't be too quick to condemn those who through no fault of theirs don't have it easy and rosy as us.

Queen, chop kiss o. If those idiots have never dealt with you, you won't understand. Imagine the kind of torture they put you through, rough handling you as they take all you ve suffered for. Any day I see a thief or armed robber being lynched, I must contribute cos those idiots don show me shege.

Come to Aba and u will never feel bad for Thiefs whether petty or not u must be lynched and burnt to death so that in ur next life u will not dare steal a toothpick.no city in naija does judge justice more than Aba. Up enyi.. .. . Zero tolerance to crime

What of the story of a woman about to wed, she went to Onitsha main market with her best friend, when they were about to leave a phone shop, the owner discovered that a tablet was missing only to see it in the woman's bag. This innocent woman was beaten paraded around naked, mehn she was totally disgraced but fortunately someone intervened and she wasn't burnt alive but after that incident she committed suicide.Her best friend was responsible for what happened, someone that was to be her maid of honour, she was the one that put the phone in the woman's bag.What I'm trying to say is that some people are innocent.
